compulsively drip and run
down my fingers and into my mouth

someone please
count my fingers
and toes
lord knows, one may
be missing
if they are covered in chocolaty
brown gold

chocoholic, is my Hall of fame
covered in chocolate is my
sugar brown dream

I'll be just fine
I'll just hide my face
if, i am about to cry

pour me a drink
maybe one or two
and let me
sulk
here a little wail

no, need to
ask about me

No!
i be just fine
just let me be
to scream and yell
until i pass out

I'm just
kick-en and scream-en
beggin the Lord
to take me from hell

but it seem my
body and soul
is in everlasting Perpetual hell

don;t waste your time
don't even ask
i'm just laying here
until the pain pass

no, do don't you take the
time
no, I said
I'll be alright

I'm just waiting until
i see some God saving light

no, I'll be aright
just give me a sign

Pieces of A Wet Paper Heart (contest)(In the voice of The Great Patsy Cline)

"You want me to act like we've never kissed"
          (Pasty Cline - i fall to pieces)
but the "Sweet Dreams" of our last kiss
made me "Crazy"
then I've ever been

so, I go out
'Walkin' After Midnight"
just to chase
the feeling
of a "Faded Love" away
saying to myself
"I've Loved and Lost Again"
and will i ever love again

just
"A Church, a Courtroom, Then Goodbye"
that left your "Fingerprints" of "Heartaches"
so
"I Don't Wanta" love you anymore
but "I Love You, Honey"
"I Love You So Much It Hurts"

"I'll Sail My Ship Alone"
"Today, Tomorrow and Forever"
and it will be
"There He Goes"
walking away from me
singin' "I'm Moving Along"

and i be crying "That's My Desire"
he took my whole heart
and he was my "Walkin' Dream"

"Who Can I Count On"
to love me now
"Why Can't He Be You"

"Yes I Understand"
"Your Kinda Love"
"You're Stronger Than Me"
"You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)"

it so "Strange"
"She's Got You"
and i wish i was
in her "Shoes"

"Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)"
and i may not
"Stop, Look and Listen"
but just
"Turn the Cards Slowly"
"Then You'll Know"
the difference between
"A Poor Man's Roses (Or a Rich Man's Gold)"

"Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home"
"The Heart Your Break My Be Your Own"
"Hidin' Out" "***** Tonk Merry-Go-Round"
"Hungry for Love" in all the wrong places
